  • Art, the Essential Historian by JOHN CANADAY
    NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES • VOLUME 3 NUMBER 2 • APRIL 1982 Humanities Art, the essential historian BY JOHN CANADAY I would like to know, sometime, why some people are spontaneously attracted to art—the visual arts especially— while others who have been conditioned by apparently the same circumstances are left either cold or puzzled by some­ thing that has interested me as far back as 1 can remember, fascinated me since adolescence, and enriched my adult life beyond measure—with no explanation that I can reach as to why it happened. In our close-knit family of eight, books were plentiful (my father's shelf included Dante, Samuel Johnson, and George Meredith) and our Kimball upright piano was subjected to constant abuse. But until 1 began bringing pictures into the house there were almost none, except for family photo­ graphs, on the walls. The only ones I can remember were a chromo of a German mountain scene with peasants (which 1 recognize in retrospect as having been in the manner of Ferdinand Waldmixller), a reproduction of an early Taos painting showing an Indian dipping water from a stream, and a tinted mezzotint of Gainsborough's Duchess of Devonshire, none of which explains why as a teen-ager I developed a passion for Holbein drawings without ever having been inside an art museum or having seen, so far as I can remember, any art books. I have no idea why, how, or exactly when this first love was generated, but I do know that art from that time until now has been an increasingly potent form of communication with the past and an enlarge­ ment of the world around me.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. The Trip of a Lifetime Journeying to the Afterlife in Ancient Greece A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In History With a Classical Topic At Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. Rose Miriam Lisa Chalklen 2019 ii ABSTRACT Though there has been much scholarship on various aspects of death and the afterlife in ancient Greece, there has been little attempt to view the evidence in the context of the afterlife journey as a composite whole. This thesis aims to present a comprehensive study on different aspects of ancient Greek eschatology in the context of the afterlife journey, in order to reconstruct the process of the transition. This is achieved by investigating the eschatological themes and motifs which are reflected in ancient Greek literature, iconography, and archaeological remains. The text is loosely structured on a traveller’s ‘guide’, which consists of three basic stages of the afterlife journey: preparation, transit, and arrival. Chapter One outlines the actions undertaken in preparation for the soul’s journey to the afterlife, primarily regarding the performance of proper burial rites, which were imagined in early times to directly affect the soul’s incorporation into Hades, but by the Classical period were no longer necessary for entry into the afterlife. Still, certain practices, such as the provision of grave goods, did facilitate the soul’s journey to a certain extent.

    American School of Classical Newsetter Studies at Athens Summer1984 80th Birthday Party for Sterling Dow On January 17, 1984, friends and former students of Sterling Dow gathered at the Tavern Club in Boston to celebrate his 80th birthday. Before the cocktail hour, Dow gave a lecture on Homer relating mainly to the authorship of the Odyssey. In part the an­ swer to the question was determined on the basis of the extent of Homer's knowl­ edge. To suggest the range of that knowl­ edge, Dow produced the skull of a horse, demonstrating persuasively that there is an opening, precisely where Homer said it was, through which an arrow could have entered the brain of Nestor's horse in Book VIII of the Iliad. •struck at the point of the head, where the utmost hairs of horses are grown along the skull, and which is a place most mortal," (R.

A large Greek goat-bell summoned the company up to dinner, where their teacher presented his Sterling Dow with two of his former students, Hunter Lewis and Jim McCredie Ph.D.'s with gold-plated replicas of the Vapheio cups.

  • Memorial Minute
    At a Meeting of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences on May 18, 2004, the following Minute was placed upon the records. EMILY VERMEULE Born: August 11, 1928 Died: February 6, 2001 Emily Dickinson Townsend Vermeule, scholar of classical Greek literature and Aegean art and archaeology, was the Samuel Zemurray Jr. and Doris Zemurray-Stone Radcliffe Professor at Harvard from 1970 until her retirement in the spring of 1994, at which time she received Harvard’s Phi Beta Kappa Teaching Prize in the Humanities. She was born in New York City on the 11th of August, 1928, attended the Brearley School in that city, and graduated summa cum laude from Bryn Mawr College in 1950 with a degree in Greek and philosophy. She then spent a year at Oxford University, and went on to graduate degrees from Radcliffe College and Bryn Mawr, receiving the Ph.D. in Classics in 1956 with a dissertation on the poet Bacchylides. Emily was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1964-5, and of honorary degrees from a dozen institutions of higher learning, including Smith College, Princeton, Tufts, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and Harvard. She was also elected a Corresponding Fellow of the British Academy and the German Archaeological Institute. Of nimble wit and rapier sharp tongue, few could rival Emily in speed or depth of comprehension. To watch her scan a text, pencil tracing lines almost faster than one could follow, was a lesson in humility. Jointly appointed at Harvard in the Department of the Classics and in Fine Arts, now History of Art and Architecture, Emily’s pedagogical range was great.
